A utilização de experimentos portáteis para aplicação de uma sequência didática sobre energia eólica

Abstract

In this work, we present portable experiments aimed at addressing the concepts of electromagnetic induction and wind energy. The study was conducted at Colégio e Curso ZeroHum, with 9th-grade elementary school students. The materials used for the experiments are portable and easy to handle and transport. In this context, the objectives included the development of a didactic sequence—as a pedagogical tool—to contribute to the teaching-learning process, addressing physical concepts related to electromagnetic induction, among other physics topics, using David Ausubel's Theory of Meaningful Learning and the ISLE method (Investigative Science Learning Environment) as theoretical frameworks. Qualitative and descriptive in nature, the research instruments used were questionnaires, observations, and a pre-prepared material called the "student guide." The objectives included designing a didactic sequence to work on the theme of wind energy and discussing the physical concepts embedded in this theme. The proposal was designed for students to learn these concepts through in-class discussions and the execution of experiments.
